Looks like Jose is calling Madrid players with offers to join Chelsea ... Khedira .. now Modric ... who's next ... Ronaldo? Transfer market going overboard! Just a month left!

One off !!! :P

Huge step up for Atsu ... i really hope it materializes. Martinez would get a direct substitute for Deulofeu which means he has the chance to showcase his talent and shine ...

Why do have a Youth System? because everyone has one! I second Muzchap ... We need a manager who can believe in the youth system and atleast give them the run ... The transformation from the youth system to the first team is massive and the support of the management is very much needed else even the best potential can fade away.

If the rumours are true, chuck Costa and play Fabregas as false 9 or CF ....

Underlining statement from Yaya: Show me the money $$$$$$$$$ !!!!!

I hope he join anywhere but Arsenal within the PL .... Some ammo to laugh on the Arsenal fans who think that Fabregas didnt ditch them!

There are times when players can lift up the team by being there... For me Luiz was one such player ... always want to give more than 100% to the cause (would never forget the small prayer with the hand on Torres), got in positive vibes everywhere around. Yes he wasnt able to take his potential to greater heights at Chelsea but he contributed in his own little way, one of the few players who had an emotional connect with the fans ... A cult figure.... Never thought he would go ... And here we are with an amount so insane that u just cant say no ...... Crazy world of football!!!!!!!! All the best to the Greezer .... U will always be loved by Chelsea fans all over ....

Seriously!! WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Apart from Hazard we pretty much had the entire squad! Soaking up the pressure is what we do in pretty much every big game, yest was no different and that is surely no Masterclass!!!!!! RDM won us the CL on the same!!! .... Schurrle did come in the second to defend not to attack .... Being so defensive could go against us ... all they need to do is score a goal and the pressure is on us then they will play the "19th Century" football and we will cry!

So no voicing your opinions ... only going Ga-Ga !!!!

By playing defensive football ... what is new! We know how to do that! (we are the best in that) ...

Everyone has being saying good result, we defended well, etc,etc... But how is 0-0 a good result going in a home leg? They can defend and can defend really well (that we all know), all they need is a goal and we need to score 2 to win! Plus we never attacked so most of the time we soaked the pressure and we are good at that .... It is difficult to make us specially when we stay deep. Anyways, i hope we win at the Bridge ... For me the performance was just another day in the office where we maintain our standards in the back..

What the hell is wrong with Ramires! !! !!

I m hoping Atletico beat Barca and we avoid them ... wouldn't be able to digest 2 world class Chelsea goalies making world class saves at both end.

Mumbai, India

Looks like we would never catch a break from Hulk!!!!

I never said mentioned that he would be the first or second striker however from the pool of resources we have he is surely a good bet as a third striker. And as far as the push or the step up goes, U can do good where u r so if he is playing in the championship and doing well he can be provided the chance to showcase himself. because we keep talking abt the step up he would never get a chance at all if we dont give him a chance. Anyways i m sure he would never get a chance at all out here but that is a different story altogether.

So as per u what does he needs to do to get into the first team? because he shouldnt be getting a chance on his current form. For me, he is doing what a striker should be doing which is scoring goals and clearly better than our strikers. From the current pool of resources we have, doesnt that warranty him game time! While we can feed a Torres for not being a striker but we cant give some game time to one who is actually doing his job! That is even more ludicrous!

Costa as he fits perfectly to Jose's style plus he not that expensive. Lukaka and Bamford as the second and third.

Unfortunately that the first which comes to my mind. I thought we were more dynamic last season, yes it needed tweaking but we were on our way to be called a team which was more aggressive. Today whether it is 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3, we look the same in our approach. 3-5-2 is mainly when we are already behind, it is more of a forced step (can we actually implement it right from the start, No!). I dont understand why dont we kill the game when we have the resources. Look at Madrid's game last nite (yes they have the best in the world) they didnt get into a shell after they hit a goal, they demolished their opponent in their own back yard.

Kevin and Mata never came from the academy! Yes we made money on Mata but we actually lost on a very good player who could have provided a different angle to our existing setup.

Honestly whats there not to understand. Mou is pretty uni-directional in his approach. U have the early goal, get into the shell. I dont see we playing free flowing, aggressive football under Jose. Sometime I just wonder what happened to that 25 mins that we played against Hull City (very first match of the season), could we ever get to see that under Jose.

On whom did we make profit? The idea was never to make profit by selling our youth, it is going all wrong because we didnt get the manager for whom we were all set to lay the red carpet. Anyways thats my opinion. E'to better than Bramford ... Good one .. I guess that's check and mate!

Lets keeping spending money season after season,what is the point in having an acdemeny! Chalobah was one of the best player last season,Bramford is decent for a 3rd Option and is too good when compared to our present strikers. Not sure how Ake and Traore are better despite not playing much. If we are not going to give them a stable platform majority of the time they would end up as being average. Every big team today has some or the other youth players from their acdamey getting a shot expect Chelsea and City. Why? because we just want to buy buy and buy and deem most of the youth players as average. We got big daddy, so let play FIFA14.
